in AoE2 there were player colours (1-8) there was also a friend or foe color mode. but this was the same for each player (blue for ally, red for enemy) the colors need to be the same for everyone. (if 1 player has friend or foe colors and one doesnt, it will mess things up) army painters will fix all of that plus give for some awesome looking battles. my dawn of war space marine pink ***** pirates army was ownage.
